NEW Duel 8" Blower Cooling / silencing kit for OCTOMINER X8 ULTRA PLUS
Note: This is a complete kit.... Everything you will need BUT the two AC Infinity S8 Blower/Fans.
All you do is remove the four existing fans, and plug in the four 4 Pin Fan Spoofers (Included!) on the Bosch control board where the original fans normally plugged in. You mount the two inlet adaptors to the existing fan locations where the fan's would normally mount, and mount the two 8" Exhaust Adaptors to the exhaust side. Mount the two aluminum mounting brackets to the sides of the case, where the frame rails mount, and clamp two 800 CFM blowers (Provided by you!) to the bottom flanges(as shown in the photos). This kit is designed to work horizontally, or vertically (Mounted to a wall).
Yes, they can also be mounted vertically on a sheet of plywood (This is the way I use them). Mounting them vertically on the wall takes up less space, you don't need a shelving rack, and it's easy to add two 8" exhaust hoses to vents outside for the exhaust. I promise if you add these to your garage wall, your wife will let you buy more! I do recommend a screen or a filter if there is a lot of dirt or kids fingers......
These blowers are very quiet.. especially if you reduce the speed to 1/2 of maximum speed, which is all you need... Just watch your temps......and understand,that YOU have to control the blower speed... not the BOSCH Control board. The good news, is the sound is quite pleasing.... a soft hum vs an annoying screaming sound the original fans make!
The adaptors are printed out of ABS Plastic using 14 industrial printers modified for printing temperatures of 650° F.
A little information about 3D printing plastics?
All 3D printing material (PLA, ABS, Nylon, TPU, etc...) have what the industry calls a Glass Transition Temperature. This is the temperature in which the plastic starts to get soft or pliable. PLA Plastic (The most common type of 3D printer material) has a Glass Transition Temperature between 50° and 80° Celsius. If you think about this for a minute?.The chip temperature in your ASIC get to these numbers! This is why we only use ABS Plastic which has a Glass Transition Temp of 110° Celsius (210°F).
Enjoy,
